About the Book
"In a stunning picture book the artist has illustrated this old fable from India with colored woodcuts which are remarkably fluid in line and dramatic".-- Booklist. A Caldecott Medal book. Illustrated with three-color woodcuts.Book Synopsis
Marcia Brown retells an Indian fable from the Hitopadesa in this Caldecott Medal-winning tale of a mouse who becomes a tiger. When a small mouse's life is threatened by large jungle predators, a kindly hermit uses magic to change him into a cat, a dog, and a majestic tiger. But the proud tiger must suffer the consequences when he becomes ungrateful and forgets his humble origins. Marcia Brown's magical woodcuts bring this Indian fable to life with the mastery that won her a second Caldecott Medal.About the Author
